I admit I too prefer sheets of paper to a sketch book because I hate how I can't go all the way to the edges because I can't draw with my hand hanging over the edge of oblivion. The only problem I had with loose sheets was that I didn't know what to do with them afterwards. I guess a book seems more precious and save-worth than random sheets of paper no matter how good the stuff on top is. <BR/><BR/>I do feel it is important to keep a running log of sketches. It's really amazing and wonderful to see your progress. Don't forget to date (at least month and year).Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283559694100911954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158764640818772092006-09-20T09:04:00.000-06:002006-09-20T09:04:00.000-06:00Heck, at those prices, I bought 5!

I actually, deep down knew that would happen, so I'm glad I got a good supply.garth brunerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173720275262400510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158682337088778702006-09-19T10:12:00.000-06:002006-09-19T10:12:00.000-06:00haha... love the robot sketch!haha... love the robot sketch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219206750276929532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158403629213827652006-09-16T04:47:00.000-06:002006-09-16T04:47:00.000-06:00Nice ;) If you end up using these sketchbooks in t...Nice ;) If you end up using these sketchbooks in the long term, think about getting an <A HREF="http://www.plustek.com/products/book.htm" REL="nofollow">OpticBook 3600</A>, which will let you scan whole pages without getting that greyed edge present in the scans you've done.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I don't work for them, I just use it to non-destructively scan 100+ year old books, which it does a brilliant job of.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the nice work :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158302407746568122006-09-15T00:40:00.000-06:002006-09-15T00:40:00.000-06:00Love all your recent posts Guybut then I dug all t...Love all your recent posts Guy<BR/>but then I dug all the old ones too<BR/><BR/>dDrazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588169855921049801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158256357112205372006-09-14T11:52:00.000-06:002006-09-14T11:52:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991471941821193929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158256429682026512006-09-14T11:53:00.000-06:002006-09-14T11:53:00.000-06:00That's funny, my art director just told me about t...That's funny, my art director just told me about this resurrection of the moleskin sketchbook and I really want to get one, but since you can get 4 MoDeskins for the price of one MoLeskin, I might wanna consider that instead. Thanks for the tip:) I have the same problem with sketchbooks as you mentioned. First off, I hate that blank first page and second, the scanning problem. I've had to rip out pages from my sketchbook before, in order to make a decent scan.<BR/><BR/>By the way, your sketches are awesome, if I could just fill mine with stuff like that, I would have no problem:)<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>HansHanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991471941821193929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158202246044380242006-09-13T20:50:00.000-06:002006-09-13T20:50:00.000-06:00Hey Guy, I'm glad I found your blog, I've become a...Hey Guy, I'm glad I found your blog, I've become an instant fan of your stuff. You nailed it with the sketchbook thing, I've never been able to keep one and I've literally got dozens of the things around and I just can't do it. Like others here, I've got thousands of odd papers and such scattered everywhere with doodles all over them. It's crazy, congratulations on the nice start to the Modeskine. The "halloween" mainstays are great. I'll be back around.Chris Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180405472662506365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158185875876659082006-09-13T16:17:00.000-06:002006-09-13T16:17:00.000-06:00great pages, looking forward to see more of your a...great pages, looking forward to see more of your awesome drawings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389752072214123232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158158572975355522006-09-13T08:42:00.000-06:002006-09-13T08:42:00.000-06:00I have the same fear of ruining a nice, brand-new ...I have the same fear of ruining a nice, brand-new sketchbook. Give me an expensive-looking piece of paper and I freeze, I can sketch freely only on recycled paper, as there's nothing to ruin ... I'm still doing it now and keeping these scrap pieces tied with a string (I'm such a cheapskate)! Like your inaugural sketches, especially the robot popping out from the bottom of a page, not dorky at all.constanthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036823981693307553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1158158426795447732006-09-13T08:40:00.000-06:002006-09-13T08:40:00.000-06:00This is a good idea, Guy.

Maybe I should look into this method of organizing... as soon as the stack's taller than me, I guess.S.T.

Around the studio I mostly use regular copier paper. But a while back I bought a bunch of hardcover sketchbooks from the discount section at Barnes and Noble, and I always keep one in the car and in the winter I keep one stuffed in my jacket pocket. That way I'm never without a sketchbook. They are much cheaper than the same hardcover ones in any art store, check it out next time you are in B&N. They seem to have them on sale quite regularly.Cedricstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06281239965682009232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1157989700494546432006-09-11T09:48:00.000-06:002006-09-11T09:48:00.000-06:00Those sketchbooks look great, thanks for the info!...Those sketchbooks look great, thanks for the info!Fulton Bealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066999175367959012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1157988428709685212006-09-11T09:27:00.000-06:002006-09-11T09:27:00.000-06:00great sketches!i discovered moleskine's about a ye...great sketches!<BR/>i discovered moleskine's about a year ago and fell in love instantly. you described all of my biggest pet peeves about sketchbooks. i like the look of those modeskine's. i'll have to order some.<BR/>thanks!!dronohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788035539584342237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13197298.post-1157986358243621632006-09-11T08:52:00.000-06:002006-09-11T08:52:00.000-06:00Anonymous, I got them at Provo Art and Paint.
